- DoreenMichele 6y agoIt's possible to state that this is not the consensus currently and you don't agree with them without being obnoxious. It's also possible to be utterly obnoxious to people on the justification that current scientific consensus is on your side, pretend you aren't being obnoxious because "you are right" and have enough people agree with you to feel like it's completely okay and justified to be obnoxious. This latter thing is largely what cancel culture seems to push back against because such behavior is typically reserved for fairly privileged individuals who can get away with it. Other people can't get away with it, even if truth is on their side, because consensus is not.
